Re: Condor Legion emblems

For the photos I need to take a look in my collection. I remember an Ju 52/3mSee from AS/88 with the number 577 on the Rumpf. The black disc for the National Airforce is in the same style as by the He 59.

On the 21. o6. 1938 AS/88 attacked Blockebrecher at the coastline near Valencia. They hit the britisch Merchant Vessel (Suppley Cargo for the Republikaner) Thorpeness 4.800t with one Torpedo. The Vessel sunk. Other Blockadebrecher where attacked with 250kg bombs and 20mm cannon fire.
In one case the He 59 attacked an little KÜMO in the same arera, the vessel was less then 450t. But it was an hard one!! AS/88 need more then two days, 15x250kg and 4x500kg bombs and over 150 round of 20mm to damage the small vessel. The Capitän set the vessel on the beach!!!!!!
